You can be a little lonely because it's an individual sport.

Honestly, I was only rested in rugby football; all my friends were boys, and I definitely didn't want to go on stage, but I just did it to keep everyone happy. I did some singing, dancing like they liked, but it wasn't my thing at all.

I was a team sports guy, but I don't do that anymore. When I work out, it's alone.

I went to an all-boys school and hated feeling like one of the crowd.

One of my strengths is connecting with the players.

I am too much of a team member to be separated from my team.

When I started playing, there were no teams and no structure, so I had to play with the boys. I get very emotional when I think about the humiliation that I've suffered playing football.

Experiencing those moments of being alone... is a very, very weird flooring and exposing position to be in when you're just not used to it... But I've never been lonely. And with my kids Mia and Joe that remains the case.

I loved to hit with men on base and with the game on the line.
